A senior official from the Anglo-Dutch supermajor Shell has said that Qatar will play a crucial role in delivering cleaner energy sources to the world’s major markets over the coming decades.

Matthias Bichsel, director of Projects and Technology at Shell, told delegates at the International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC) in Qatar’s capital Doha, that as the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas, Qatar is at the forefront of providing cleaner energy.

“Increasing natural gas production and shipping it through the LNG global markets means that more natural gas will be available to replace coal as the fuel for power plants,” Bichsel said.
“Qatar with its massive gas resources and visionary leadership, has a crucial role in meeting the global energy challenge,” he added.
